replacement for toyo proxes

Postby mhj » Thu Feb 08, 2018 2:14 pm

I had a brand new set of toyo proxes but, unfortunately, one of them is now defunct
they don't have my sized toyo proxes in Australia anymore( 205/45/16)
so I need to get two new two new tyres that are similar in performance and price
what might you suggest/recommend

thanks those links
I had contacted the "authorised fitment centres " for tyroola in my region.
they all said nope, they don't exist . I had thought that included their tyroola contacts too i
so I took your lead and saw that on ebay tyroola said they had stock.. I have ordered them...
I hope they arrive :)

You could buy a single Toyo from abroad. Even with freight it's likely to be considerably cheaper than a pair of something else bought locally.
